Dark Void puts the foe to {{status|sleep}}. In a [[Double Battle]], Dark Void will hit both foes with an accuracy of 80% for each Pokémon. In a [[Triple Battle]], Dark Void will only hit opposing adjacent Pokémon.
===Generation IV-VI===
Dark Void puts all adjacent foes to {{status|sleep}}, with an accuracy of 80% for each Pokémon.


In [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]] if {{DL|Appendix:Metagame terminology|sleep clause}} is active, Dark Void will only put one foe to sleep and will be forced to miss for the other.
Targets with {{a|Insomnia}} or {{a|Vital Spirit}} as their [[Ability]] are unaffected by Dark Void.

Dark Void's accuracy was reduced to 50% for each Pokémon.
 
Dark Void can now only be successfully used by Darkrai (or a Pokémon that has {{m|transform}}ed into Darkrai).

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
* As of the 2011-2012 [[Play! Pokémon]] Organized Play season, Dark Void is the only move to be banned for reasons other than a [[Sky Drop glitch|glitch]].
* Since [[Generation VII]] (excluding [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]]), Dark Void has the lowest accuracy of all status moves, signature moves and Dark-type moves.
* Dark Void is the only {{type|Dark}} move able to induce {{status|sleep}}.
* In ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'', when using Dark Void for the second and third times, [[Darkrai (M10)|Darkrai]] exclaims the move's name. This does not happen in the original Japanese version.
* Dark Void is the only {{type|Dark}} move that is associated with darkness physics, rather than negative actions.
** In the {{pmin|Brazil|Brazilian Portuguese}} dub, probably due to an oversight, Darkrai says "Dark Void" when using the move for the third time instead of a localized name.

Dark Void (Japanese: ダークホール Dark Hole) is a non-damaging Dark-type move introduced in Generation IV. It is the signature move of Darkrai.

Effect

Generation IV-VI

Dark Void puts all adjacent foes to sleep, with an accuracy of 80% for each Pokémon.

Targets with Insomnia or Vital Spirit as their Ability are unaffected by Dark Void.

Targets affected by Sweet Veil as their Ability are also unaffected by Dark Void.

In Pokémon Battle Revolution, if sleep clause is active, Dark Void will only put one foe to sleep and will be forced to miss for the other.

Dark Void can also be used as part of a Contest Spectacular combination, causing certain moves (Dream Eater, Hex, Nightmare and Wake-Up Slap) to give an extra three appeal points if used in the next turn.

Generation VII

Dark Void's accuracy was reduced to 50% for each Pokémon.

Dark Void can now only be successfully used by Darkrai (or a Pokémon that has transformed into Darkrai). If this move is used by any other Pokémon (including via Assist or Metronome), the move will fail, displaying the battle text "But <Pokémon> can't use the move!". Dark Void will not fail when reflected by Magic Bounce.

If powered up by a Darkinium Z into Z-Dark Void, all of the user's lowered stats are reset.

Generation VIII

Pokémon Sword and Shield

Dark Void cannot be selected in a battle.

Pokémon Legends: Arceus

In Pokémon Legends: Arceus, Dark Void's accuracy was raised to 90%, and lowers the user's action priority. It makes the target drowsy and lowers its defensive stats. Like all other moves in this game, it targets only one Pokémon.

Pokémon Method
User First Used In Notes
Darkrai Darkrai puts its hands together and forms a crimson and black or purple and black ball in its hands. It then fires it at the opponent. When the opponent is hit, a crimson or pink bubble appears around the opponent's body that soon disappears and makes them fall asleep; or, Darkrai creates a crimson ball and holds it above its head, releasing multiple smaller balls from the larger one all around its body. When the small balls hit the opponent, they form a pink crimson bubble around it that fades away into dark crimson. Once the sphere disappears, the opponent falls asleep.

Trivia

  • Since Generation VII (excluding Pokémon Legends: Arceus), Dark Void has the lowest accuracy of all status moves, signature moves and Dark-type moves.
  • In The Rise of Darkrai, when using Dark Void for the second and third times, Darkrai exclaims the move's name. This does not happen in the original Japanese version.
    • In the Brazilian Portuguese dub, probably due to an oversight, Darkrai says "Dark Void" when using the move for the third time instead of a localized name.
